## Detailed Description

Manages all available sources of events.

## Enumeration Type Documentation

enum Glib::IOCondition

A bitwise combination representing an I/O condition to watch for on an event source.

The flags correspond to those used by the `poll()` system call on UNIX (see `man 2 poll`). To test for individual flags, do something like this:

     if((condition & Glib::IO_OUT) != 0)
       do_some_output();

Bitwise operators:
  `IOCondition operator|(IOCondition, IOCondition)`
  `IOCondition operator&(IOCondition, IOCondition)`
  `IOCondition operator^(IOCondition, IOCondition)`
  `IOCondition operator~(IOCondition)`
  `IOCondition& operator|=(IOCondition&, IOCondition)`
  `IOCondition& operator&=(IOCondition&, IOCondition)`
  `IOCondition& operator^=(IOCondition&, IOCondition)`

Enumerator:

  IO_IN | There is data to read.
  IO_OUT | Data can be written (without blocking).
  IO_PRI | There is urgent data to read.
  IO_ERR | Error condition.
  IO_HUP | Hung up (the connection has been broken, usually for pipes and sockets).
  IO_NVAL | Invalid request. The file descriptor is not open.
